<p class="text2">Patuxai qui signifie litt&eacute;ralement Porte de la Victoire ou Porte du Triomphe, anciennement Anousavary ou Anosavari Monumentm (connue par les Fran&ccedil;ais en tant que Monument Aux Morts) est un monument de guerre dans le centre de Vientiane, capitale du Laos, a &eacute;t&eacute; construit entre 1957 et 1968.<br /><br /> Patuxai est d&eacute;di&eacute; &agrave; ceux qui ont combattu dans la lutte pour l'ind&eacute;pendance de la France. <br /> Il est &eacute;galement donn&eacute; le nom de Patuxai Arch ou la version asiatique de l'Arc de Triomphe de Vientiane vu qu&rsquo;il a une certaine ressemblance avec l'Arc de Triomphe Parisien. Cependant, celui-ci est de conception laotienne, d&eacute;cor&eacute; avec beaucoup de figurines bouddhistes mythologiques tels que des kinnaris (demi-femmes, mi-oiseau).<br /><br /> Le monument a cinq tours qui repr&eacute;sentent les cinq principes de coexistence entre les nations du monde. Ils sont &eacute;galement repr&eacute;sentatifs des cinq principes bouddhistes&nbsp;: &laquo;&nbsp;l'amabilit&eacute;, la flexibilit&eacute;, l'honn&ecirc;tet&eacute;, l'honneur et la prosp&eacute;rit&eacute;&nbsp;&raquo;.</p>
